Trump says Khizr Kahn has no right to lecture him on the Constitution. [View all]

In his response to the immensely successful rebuke by Mr. and Mrs. Kahn, a father and mother whose son died fighting for Donald Trump's freedoms, Donald Trump has said the father, Khizer Kahn, who claimed that Donald Trump must not have read the Constitution, specifically referring to the equal protection clause, didn't have the right to publicly claim that he had read not read it. Now, this is the candidate who has gone as far to say that anybody who criticizes his remarks is violating his free speech. And by the way, Trump is not alone in this. The entire conservative movement, including Sarah Palin and Laura Schlesinger, has been doing this as well. Republicans need to be more consistent with the issue of freedom of speech and not just use it as a shroud of protection for their own ignorance from the critique it so richly deserves.
